Drilling

Drilling refers to the process of boring a hole through soil

and rock to access geologic reservoirs that contain oil and
gas.

Pathway for reservoir fluid from reservoir to surface.

Offshore Drilling vs. Onshore Drilling

• Operation
• Cost
• Safety
Logging
Logging is a continuous recording of a geophysical parameter
along a borehole.

Purpose :
To give accurate and representative data on the physical
properties of the rock formations and fluids encountered in a
borehole.

The basic physical parameters that can be measured include

(a) the size of the borehole,
(b) the electrical properties of the rocks,
(c) temperature,
(d) pressure,
(e) the natural radioactivity of the rocks,
(f) the acoustic properties of the rocks, and so on.
Offshore Logging vs. Onshore Logging

In offshore , full set of logs is often carried out. Because drilling is so expensive , relatively fewer wells will be
drilled , hence maximum data must be squeezed out of each well. It helps to constrain the extent and adding
information about the general geological structure.

The SP log is difficult to run offshore because

1) a good earth is difficult to find,
2) the amount of electrical noise on board a rig often causes problems for accurately measuring signals
Offshore Drilling and Production Units

Three types:

1. Fixed platform
a. Jacketed Platform
b. Gravity Platform

2. Compliant platform
a. Compliant Tower
b. Guyed Tower
c. Tension Leg Platform

3. Mobile platform/units

Buoyancy

For Equilibrium condition :

Buoyant Force ( mbg) = Gravity Force ( mog)

For Rectangular Body,

hb =
Motion

Different forces that act on a floating vessel

These forces lead to motions to the vessel Types of Motions

Stability
It is ability of any floating body to remain upright position or to
return to its upright position.

GM = KM – KG
GM = KB + BM –KG

Where K = Keel point

G = Center of Gravity
B = Center of Buoyancy

BM =

KG = Distance Between K to G = (for uniform body)

KB =Distance Between K to B = GM = metacentric height

BM = metacentric radius
KM = metacenter height
Condition Of Stability
1) If B and B’ remain always above G is always stable .
2) If B and B’ remain below G : then stability depends on M position.

Case 1 : Metacenter M is above G , then floating body dynamically stable.

Case 2 : Metacenter M is below G , in this case floating body will begin to turnover.

GZ is called as righting arm.

This righting arm multiplied by the

‘weight’ or the ‘displacement’ gives the
‘righting moment.’
Z
The area under the righting arm curve is
the righting energy ,this energy resist
external natural energy of wind and seas
and keep a unit upright.
